[3.0] "If all of the words in the dictionary featured an analogous wrestler, Mike Bennett would feature right next to the word " Unremarkable. " This guy really stunk his way through 205 Live as it became clear quickly that he was surrounded by better workers, better promos & overall just wrestlers whose charismas, appearances and movesets outdid him in spades. When push came to shove & WWE began to reduce his use, he & his wife were very vocal online about their booking when said booking & reduced use simply reflected reality. I've never seen Mike Bennett on a card and thought " Fuck yes, we are eating well tonight. " The only Mike Bennett match I remember in any way was his Bound For Glory '16 scuffle with Moose, & that's all you need to know. Presently working in AEW as a fly on the wall & the least memorable member of the Undisputed Kingdom. He's minimally competent in-ring, & that's literally it. The fact that he somehow still finds semi-relevance despite sucking for a longer time than many fans have been alive is really kind of insane."

[4.0] "While I think his partner is truly underrated, he is perfectly rated. Everyone treats him as mid and he might be just that. His WWE run might be one of the worst the promotion ever had, it was so dogshit that I end up quitting the Smackdown because of him. His time at TNA is good and his AEW run has been alright."
JediSaiyanMaster1203 wrote on 28.02.2025:
[4.0] "While the Kingdom is a decent tag team, neither man are good on their own, especially Mike. Moment you see this man having a bad match with Hiroshi Tanahashi, before his knees gave out on him, you're done for it. Very uninteresting performer who needs his wife to carry him."

[7.0] "Big fan of Mike, he have a good run in ROH with The Kingdom, then a decent run in TNA as The Miracle, unfortunately his run in WWE was a disastee, looks that he found his way in ROH and AEW as part of The Undisputed Kindgom but his career as a solo wrestler is over."
RaysBru wrote on 11.10.2024:
[4.0] "Mike is decent in the ring, but doesn't really stand out. I'm not a fan of his recent gimmicks. It's hard to take him serious, due to his presentation. Not a good actor or promo. He seems to work best as a supporting character in a stable, as he's not a draw."
TVTN wrote on 28.01.2024:
[5.0] "I consider Mike Bennett to be the weak link of the Undisputed Kingdom and the lesser wrestler in The Kingdom, but when he has the right opponent and the right tag partner, he'll give a good performance. He was buried to oblivion in WWE and I thought he was never going to recover, but he's proven me wrong on AEW and ROH. He along with Taven are a good hand for AEW and deserves the new spotlights they have now that they're in the Undisputed Kingdom. While he may not be as great of a wrestler, he's definitely proved some people wrong, and I can respect that."

ThatWrestlingDude wrote on 30.12.2022:
[8.0] "In all honesty, I don't think we've seen Bennett's full potential yet in professional wrestling. He has all the tools to be a top heel in this business. His stuff with Taven and Vincent in ROH and with Honor No More in Impact has truly showcased what he is capable of."
Evan Jackson wrote on 06.03.2022:
[8.0] "My opinion is different but i recently liked Bennet in ROH. He's capable to do better than what WWE gave him. Good wrestler and useful asset for Impact."
RezzyRezRez wrote on 14.02.2021:
[8.0] "I have always been a fan of Mike Bennett and while I do see why some people aren't fans I think if he is able to carry the momentum from his Final Battle match I think he can go pretty far. He always been a solid wrestler and his later 205 Live stuff have been fairly entertaining like I said his return to ROH was good so far."
Ma Stump Puller wrote on 10.01.2021:
[3.0] "if the uncrowned king of carry jobs Tanahashi can't squeeze a good match out of you, there's something seriously wrong. Anti charisma combined with a half assed move set and zero fire in his matches equals a pretty terrible wrestler. Even with the talent of his wife beside him he still couldn't get much done."

[9.0] "His Ring of Honor and TNA work was fantastic and wasn? t given a fair chance to shine in WWE. I prefer him as a tag wrestler preferably with Matt Taven."
KyleEnjoysWrestling wrote on 09.08.2019:
[5.0] "I've never been the biggest fan of Mike Bennett, but once he started using Maria as part of his gimmick, you could tell there was something there. He probably looked the best under the TNA banner as the Miracle. But ever since WWE & they focused hard on the love side of the relationship, it's been downhill. Mike gets some blame as well, considering he had drinking issues shortly after his WWE arrival, but being Maria's bitch to that degree is not ever going to work."

[2.0] "He is the definition of average. Never did anything worthwhile in impact or roh as he was always playing 2nd fiddle to someone. Now he's in the fed doing nothing on TV. Happy for the guy as he seems to have gotten his life together. Still bland asf"

[6.0] "Since Mike came to WWE he got worse in the ring, but in TNA Mike and Maria were great heels and had a great "Miracle" Gimmick andd was Ok in the ring, I think he could have a better gimmick than "Power Of Love" He is also average on the mic in my opinion"
Dragon Fighter wrote on 14.11.2017:
[3.0] "Seriously, this guy is a waste of time. He is at best pretty okay at any aspects. I saw him in Roh, tna, njpw and I am confident to say that. Nothing about him is truly outstanding. Now in wwe on SD brand, he is just there, lower mid carder. If it hadn't been for his hot wife Maria, many fans would have forgotten him for a long time."
PistolPeteMatty wrote on 19.07.2017:
[8.0] "Mike Bennett/Kanellis just has that 'it' factor that a star in pro wrestling needs. From his look, in ring work, and charisma, he's just what you think of when you think 'pro wrestler'"

[8.0] "So far, he's been amazing in TNA. I really like his "miracle" thing and Maria really completes his character."
Brandon Picha wrote on 13.08.2016:
[10.0] "I feel as if Mike Bennett has true star potential, and that is why I rate him as a 10. He isn't exactly "young, " but he has improved tremendously even since coming to TNA- which is rare. Usually TNA destroys young talent, but hey!"
steviecw wrote on 14.07.2016:
[9.0] "A rare case of somebody really demonstrating star power on the TNA roster. His petulance reminds me a little of CM Punk, while his "Miracle" gimmick is really entertaining. I was a fan of his in ROH too, but I don't think he was ever quite so central. Former IWGP Tag Team Champion, ROH World Tag Team Champion, ROH Top Prospect Tournament winner and TNA X-Division Champion, seems like there's much more gold to come."
Rangozz wrote on 06.01.2016:
[10.0] "A big talker with the Prototypical Look to Suceed. It's true that In Ring he's not the Best. But, he works hard and is always entertaining. His TNA Debut pretty much destroyed his ROH perception. He's not an IWC bred talent. He won't get over with that crowd. But, he was very over in his Debut and that is a Clear Factor. How the U. K. etc. takes is also factual. But, I see him as a Rising Star with all the tool. His look and charisma is simply the thing that will have him be a corner stone in TNA. And, this gimmick is something that he has taken and ran with. It's a Bright Future and The Miracle is Here."
Hurin wrote on 11.10.2015:
[8.0] "I really don't get the hate. I think he's a good wrestler at least in the WWE style, which makes him stand out in ROH, who does a fantastic job of working ROH's crowds, they HAAAATE him. Bennett is good."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 17.08.2015:
[7.0] "Good all-around in-ring skill set with a good look and charisma. Bennett has been growing as a tag wrestler as of late during his time with the Kingdom, but has the potential to break out as a single down the line. Seems to be custom-built for WWE in terms of everything except perhaps height - surprising they haven't gone after him yet."
Maryan wrote on 17.03.2015:
[8.0] "OK, so I'm not going to say Mike's a lucky SOB for being engaged to Maria. (Darn, just said it). Seriously, he's a good wrestler he can do good matches and the alliance with Maria (both out and inside the ring) help them both, they basicly complete each other."
jchiofal wrote on 27.12.2013:
[9.0] "On of Ring of Honor's best wrestlers has been consistently making a name for himself with strong matches, great promos, and undeniable charisma. His style is nothing like the other styles on the card because he has a slower, more mainstream style (that many fans are not at all a fan of). I on the other hand, love his matches, and how he wrestles."
TAWPTierJustin wrote on 29.06.2012:
[9.0] "I was already a big Mike Bennett fan before when he was just with Brutal Bob Evans, but ever since they added Maria Kanellis to the mix back at Final Battle 2011, I think that's when Mike Bennett really started to step up his game and become better than he ever was before not just with his Prodigy persona, but with his work in the ring as well, and it has now put him into one of those situations with the fans where they really want to hate this guy, but at the same time, they're showing more respect towards him than they did in the past year. Honestly, all he needs in Ring Of Honor is Maria Kanellis in his corner and that will continue his great role that he's on and progress him to become better and better. He doesn't need Brutal Bob Evans in his corner although I think it's actually better that Brutal Bob stays with Bennett cause he has always been a great manager for Bennett considering the fact that Bob is Bennett's trainer and all, and plus, I love the pairing of these three! It's a breath of fresh air so to speak!"
